13 Firefox Keyboard Shortcuts to Save Time

It took me a little while to warm up to Mozilla's Firefox but after using it for a few weeks, I have never intentionally gone back to using Microsoft's Internet Explorer since. Heck, I despise it when I'm at some body's house and they don't have a copy of Firefox for me to browse with.

If you can become proficient using keyboard short cuts you are well on your way to becoming a Firefox power user. The following keyboard shortcuts are some of the most common time savers available in Firefox.

Some of these Keyboard shortcuts may work in Internet Explorer and other browsers, but some don't. So if you want to use them, download yourself the latest version of Firefox and you can thank me later.
